Newsletter: Taurus Full Moon 2024

Taurus contains the principle of beauty in creation. Venus, the ruler of love and beauty in form, is the regent of this sign. Form is only a vessel through which beauty is reflected, but it is not beauty itself. Waves of beauty radiate through a flower. Its beauty lies in its completeness, not in the matter of the flower. Man and woman are also attracted to each other through beauty. Our reaction to beauty is expressed in the initial stages through desire, then aspiration and in higher levels through love. It finds its highest expression in bhakti, devotion to the divine.

The knowledge of how we align ourselves with the Divine is called wisdom of the Divine or Theosophy. Sophia means wisdom, Theos means God. Divine wisdom is the wisdom of God. We are to be an abode for the divine. The term 'Theosophy' was coined by Ammonius Saccas (175 - 242 CE), a Hellenistic philosopher from Alexandria. He used to pass on wisdom in secret to a few faithful disciples, and no one else knew about him. We need not be anxious to spread the wisdom without working it with ourselves.
The subject of this Lunar Messenger is "Vistas of Wisdom 136: Theosophy".

With the growing interest in esoteric and spiritual subjects in recent years, a person who has sown the seeds for this in the 19th century also has a renaissance: Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831- 1891), called by her friends in short H.P.B. More important than the events of her life, however, are the traces of her spiritual work in the service of those whom she dedicated her whole life: The Mahatmas, also called "Masters of Wisdom". 'Golden Stairs' is one such contribution from her.
The book "The Golden Stairs" is an outcome of the talks delivered by Dr K. Parvathi Kumar in June 2008, at the Theosophical Society in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Forget not Aldebaran, the all-seeing Eye that can pull you up to the state of the most sublime. It exists in you as the Eye of the Lord. It presides over you in all walks of your life. In the Cosmos it presides over the whole Creation. Contemplation upon the column of Light from the Heart Centre up to the higher Third Eye yields fruitful experience. The month of Taurus can thus be consecrated for such contemplation.
Remember that the Full Moon of Taurus is the culminating point for such contemplation. Buddha is born through such contemplation. Such contemplation, through such consecration, gives you the status of the Sacred Bull. (Dr K. Parvathi Kumar: Vaisakh Newsletter 1999)
The picture of the month, “Taurus - Vaisakh Full Moon Meditation“, illustrates this symbolism.
